Hungary’s recent and historic election ended the repressive rule of Russia leaning Prime Minister Victor Orbán. As Co-Chair of the Congressional Hungarian Caucus, I cheer with Hungarian Americans thrilled at Prime Minister Péter Magyar's victory for Liberty in Hungary. Bravo! Onward!

Promises made, promises broken again, and again, and again. When will this Administration and the GOP ever focus on lowering costs for the American people? Only time will tell.
Happy #419Day! It’s an honor to serve the hardworking people from across our NW Ohio region. Wishing you all a great day in this place we love!
Thank you Allen Dean of Dean Farms, Alan Sundermeier of Conservation Action Project, Clint and Joe Nester, Williams Soil and Water, and all farmers, producers, and growers involved for a great discussion on water quality and conservation practices being put in to place across our NW Ohio region.
There is no good explanation for this Administration to quietly lift sanctions on Russia late on a Friday night.
Congress and the American people need immediate answers. We must not help Russia fund its illegal war in Ukraine and aid Iranian attacks on American troops.
Led a bipartisan Ukraine Caucus meeting with PM Svyrydenko. Ukraine has proven its people have the ingenuity to be a security provider on the world stage. It remains firmly in America’s interest to work closely with our Ukrainian allies. It is time for sanctions to pressure Russia to end this war!
It’s a common complaint that during election season #politicians overlook, underestimate #rural #America on the campaign trail. Not this time - @davidpepperoh.bsky.social, @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social & #Ohio secretary of state candidates showed up. Listen here: loriking.substack.com/p/blue-dots-...
American families are struggling with a 40% increase in gas prices, over $1 a gallon on average, caused by the War of choice with Iran. Instead of taking meaningful steps to bring down the soaring cost of living caused by this Administration’s policy, the President’s budget makes the problem worse.
Trump officials have been peddling the same lies to survive the daily news cycle for the past 6 weeks, and people keep buying what they’re selling.
‘We won the war. Tomorrow you’ll see. Prices are coming down. Tomorrow you’ll see. We’ll kill them. Tomorrow you’ll see.’
If you look at tax cuts going back to the Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, and Trump Presidencies, they were never paid for. It didn't grow the economy fast enough to offset the debt generated. We can't solve the problem unless we're honest with ourselves that under Republican Presidents, our debt grew.
Not good for America.
Not good for Europe.
Not good for Ukraine.
This is only good for Russia!
The American people are witnessing something unconstitutional and unprecedented in American history. Article I, Section 9 states “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by law.” Mr. Speaker, there was no vote to authorize the unconstiutional War in Iran.
Take this lesson, Democrats. Edgerton is way out in Williams County, OH, on the Indiana line, gerrymandered into Marcy Kaptur’s district (centered in Toledo) in an effort to unseat her. It’s a tiny village. Voted Trump. But she’s there, showing up, caring, and people will remember.
A well informed citizenry starts with one that understands our system of government. It was great to visit Edgerton High School to speak with students studying Government and help answer many of their pressing questions. Thank you all for your thoughtful contributions, see you all again soon!
American rivers are the livelihood of our nation—but many of them remain at risk of pollution. Millions depend on them for fresh drinking water, as economic drivers, for recreational enjoyment, and food supply. Today, let us recommit to protecting these freshwater ecosystems for generations to come.
Reckless across the board tariffs are raising our bills at the check out counter and the unconstitutional War in Iran has spiked gas prices at the pump. Now the average American family will pay $3,200 more a year out of their own pocket. Hardworking families can’t afford these added costs.
Money for Medicare? Cut
Money for Medicaid? Cut
Money for SNAP? Cut
Money for WIC? Cut
Money for Child Care? Denied
Cost of Housing? Unaffordable
Cost of Groceries? On The Rise
Cost of Gas? Way Up
Cost of Energy bills? Off The Charts
Cost Of Iran War? $50 Billion And Counting!
Thanks, I like me too.
As Co-Chair of the US House Hungarian Caucus, sending Hungary’s newly elected Prime Minister congratulations and a wish for strength and wisdom. May your leadership advance Liberty, prosperity, and opportunity for all Hungarians.
Honored to deliver the largest single Federal award in UToledo history with IBEW, UMich, Vistra Corp and others. $39.2 Million will be invested to help train the next generation of nuclear workers and ensure their safety—a forward thinking investment in the best of our Great Lakes region.
Alpha masculinity on full tilt here… by the Iron Babushka.
I saw the cameras were hot and dipped as soon as humanly possible (while also understanding I was being recorded).
It was just as horrible and painful in real time.
As a first hand witness, I can tell you the man doesn’t know how to talk to people.

JD Vance showing of his negotiating skills.
I can’t speak to that, but I know there were no new federal incentives given.
Thanks to major federal investment, progress is underway in Bryan as construction of a new Amtrak station continues. This community improvement is welcome progress for travelers utilizing this connector hub to destinations near and far.
No taxpayer money, all investment by Whirlpool.
It’s for an entirely new facility.
